Subliminally Sublime

   Subliminal is far from being sublime. Far because there are so many more negative results than ones for the better. It is a form of communication, but what specifically is meant by the word? Look it up in the dictionary if you want to be sure, but basically speaking, with subliminal is to speak one to another via a third voice. With sublimity, you never actually speak to the other. Unspoken directly, but hidden within the story at hand. By reading between the lines you might say. The third voice usually comes through like in television, radio, and computer screens. Subliminally speaking is to hide your meaning within the show, ad, or the script without really seeing it. In many ways it can be as a secret code, one where only the participants are the ones who understands it fully. Subliminal itself is a word that is neutral because it is equally capable for being used for bad purposes as for good purposes. Subliminal stands alone, as some see and understand it, but most don't. 

  Though it's true that using the subliminal form of communication can be used for good reasons, there are far more reasons to use it in a subversive manner. But like the gun, it can do nothing on its own, but only the user decides its purpose. The best example I could give you comes from back in my teenage years. There was a law suit or some kind of hullaballoo about the subject. The issue specifically was that during the playing of movies, an icy cold green bottle of Coke a Cola was flashed onto the screen. So quick, that if you blinked, you could miss it. There and gone in the twinkling of an eye. Not long after leaving the movie, you had a sudden urge for a coke. After-all, subliminal is hardly sublime. 

  Post Script, I couldn't help myself, I just had to look it up. Subliminal; below the threshold of conscious awareness. really a cool word..
